HOUSTON — Steven Hauschka kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime to give the Seattle Seahawks a 23-20 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday and the first 4-0 start in franchise history.

Houston (2-2) failed to score on two possessions in overtime. The Seahawks got the win on their second drive in overtime after rallying from a 20-3 deficit.

The Seahawks rallied to tie it at 20-20 on an interception return for a touchdown by Richard Sherman in the fourth quarter.

CHIEFS 24, GIANTS 7

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Smith threw three touchdown passes, Dexter McCluster returned a punt 89 yards for another score and the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs plunged the New York Giants to 0-4 with a 24-7 victory on Sunday.

Smith hit touchdown passes of 4, 2 and 35 yards for the Chiefs (4-0).

BRONCOS 52, EAGLES 20

DENVER — The Denver Broncos scored more points than they ever had in their 54-year history Sunday, blowing out the Philadelphia Eagles 52-20 behind Peyton Manning’s four touchdown throws.

With two TD passes each to Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker, Manning completed all but a half-dozen of his 34 throws for 327 yards. He didn’t even step on the field in the fourth quarter.

BROWNS 17, BENGALS 6

CLEVELAND — Brian Hoyer, the local kid who always dreamed of being Cleveland’s quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in his first start at home to lead the Browns to a 17-6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Hoyer’s 1-yard TD pass to Chris Ogbonnaya with 4:54 left gave the Browns (2-2) an 11-point lead.

In his second start in place of injured Brandon Weeden, Hoyer finished 25 of 38 for 269 yards.

BILLS 23, RAVENS 20

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso’s second interception of the game with 57 seconds remaining sealed a 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

LIONS 40, BEARS 32

DETROIT — Reggie Bush’s 37-yard touchdown run helped Detroit score 27 points in the second quarter, and he accounted for 173 yards of offense to help the Lions beat the Chicago Bears 40-32 on Sunday.

Detroit (3-1) moved into a first-place tie with Chicago (3-1) in the NFC North.

VIKINGS 34, STEELERS 27

LONDON — Greg Jennings made two touchdown catches, Adrian Peterson ran for two scores, and the Vikings’ defense made a big stop with time running out to preserve a 34-27 win over the Steelers on Sunday for their first win of the season.

COLTS 37, JAGUARS 3

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes, Trent Richardson ran for a score and the Indianapolis Colts became the latest to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars by double digits with a 37-3 win Sunday.

The Colts (3-1) weren’t all that good, especially early in the first half, but they were plenty good against one of the worst teams in the league.

Patrick Peterson had two interceptions, one setting up Arizona’s first TD in six quarters.

CHARGERS 30, COWBOYS 21

SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns, including a 56-yarder to Antonio Gates, and the San Diego Chargers rallied to beat the Dallas Cowboys 30-21 Sunday.
